I’m not the same Carolina girl that I was two years ago. I’ve “somewhat” grown accustomed to the weather here in Alaska.
Snow in North Carolina: no school. no work. stores closed. no bread. no water.
Snow in Alaska: Life resumes as normal.
Rain in North Carolina: Life resumes as normal.
Rain in Alaska: no school. no work. stores closed. KEEP YOUR TAIL INSIDE!

I love Gemma Hayes…beautiful Irish singer. I can’t get enough of her.
My favorite song of hers? I don’t know. Everyday it’s different.
Here is a painting I did for the two day, live televised, Art Auction in Anchorage, Alaska. It will be submitted in a package along with a few other artist from Firefly Art Gallery!
Be sure to tune in and BID, BID, BID!!!
When I get home, I’m going to download this bad boy and have some fun with my pics….
I’m exhausted from packing my mom’s house all last week- day and night. literally.
I would arrive at her house at 9am after dropping Krysta off at school, pack all day, then I would arrive back at my house at 10pm.
I put my mom on a plane at 5am on Thursday. The packing is over, right? No!
I still have to drop off her Jeep, finish clearing the house, pack her garage, and greenhouse. Plus, a palette is suppose to arrive to load her furniture and boxes to be shipped over to her.
I should really really get the daughter of the year award.
Somehow, my mother manages to still keep me under her thumb.
So, in honor of Saturday and taking a break from packing this is what I did so far today…
1. Cleaned the house.
2. Took a shower, then climbed back into a pair of cotton pj’s.
3. Now I’m going to paint and drink lots of coffee while listening to Big Bang Swingers…
This is going to be a much needed relaxing day!
I just discovered that I LOVE and greatly ADMIRE John Singer Sargent’s work! This painting is one of my favorites!! Classic.

Portrait painting is a glorious challenge that I dearly love. In 2007, I fell head-over-heals for the human anatomy. This territory of portraiture has become extremely addicting and a passion that I desire on a day to day basis. Analyzing skin tones, body proportions, textures, and details has become something that I thoroughly enjoy. It is fulfilling to see the painted figure come alive on my canvas by just adding the curve of the cheekbone or the sparkle of an eye.
In my paintings, not only do I strive to capture the simplicity of human essence, but also the inner beauty and the unique characteristics of my musings. Through my paintbrush, I focus on setting a fine narrative by paying close attention to light, shadow, and detail. It is my hope that my paintings provoke the viewer to feel the allure and artistry that the painted figure portrays.
my favorite quote, but not sure who it is by….
